OverviewPower Translators Universal for 3ds Max delivers fast, native translation for the industry’s most important CAD formats—including Pro/Engineer, CATIA, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Unigraphics, Rhino, JT, Parasolid, STEP, IGES, and SAT. It’s the ideal solution for visualization professionals who need to import complex models and assemblies directly into 3ds Max without losing fidelity, precision, or workflow efficiency. Developed from the ground up to tackle the real-world challenges of CAD data conversion, Power Translators Universal has been proven in the toughest production environments worldwide. Its technology is refined, reliable, and deeply integrated into Max, making it the highest-quality CAD translation pipeline available. When artists and engineers demanded faster imports, better geometry, and a more dependable workflow, this is the tool they helped shape—and it remains the standard for professional CAD-to-Max visualization.

Power Translators Universal is the answer to get those native CAD models and assemblies into MAX or VIZ with the push of a button. Power Translators Universal reads native Pro/Engineer, Catia, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Unigraphics, Rhino, JT, Parasolid, files and creates a "Power NURBS" object to represent the precise geometry defined in these advanced CAD files. It can then create a mesh at render time to a specified user defined tolerance relative to the size of the object in the image. For example, a tolerance of 1/2 Pixel will produce an extremely high quality image with very smooth edges that do not have polygonal artifacts. The "Power NURBS" object introduced by Power Translators Universal can have materials applied at the sub-object level and supports most MAX Mesh modifiers (twist, UVMap, etc.). Power Translators Universal could easily pay for itself on a single project in time savings alone.
